X-Men '97 returns this week with Episode 7, as the fallout from Danger.exe reshapes the team's future.
With X-Corp taking shape in Genosha and Apocalypse making his next move by resurrecting Gambit as one of his Horsemen, the stakes continue to rise for the X-Men.
Before the next chapter begins, here's a quick recap of what unfolded in the previous episode.
What Happened In X-Men '97 Episode 6?
In Danger.exe, Professor Xavier discovers that the Danger Room has become self-aware after repeatedly reliving Magneto's death as part of his therapy. Meanwhile, Polaris is removed from X-Factor following her excessive use of force during a mission.
The rogue Danger Room traps Polaris, Bishop and several students before taking a physical form and attacking the X-Men in Genosha, using its knowledge of their powers against them. Xavier helps Polaris overcome her anger by sharing his positive memories of Magneto, allowing her to regain control of her abilities and destroy Danger.
Inspired by Magneto's vision, Xavier announces the creation of X-Corp in Genosha as the X-Men's new headquarters, while Valerie Cooper vows to bring the organisation down. In the closing moments, Apocalypse resurrects Gambit as one of his Horsemen.
